Bushwhacked! Keys to Avoiding Preventable Bushing Problems
Brian Wing
Symptoms:
- Bushing wear
- Bushing failure
- B Clutch burned
- Direct clutch burned
- Ratio codes
Cause:
OE bushing material composition allows premature wear.Correction:
Install improved material Sonnax "B"/Direct clutch bushings to restore critical clearances and resist untimely wear.Warning:
Use of an arbor press is required for correct installation. Do not use a hydraulic press or a bushing driver/hammer combination to install, as doing so will distort the bushing and cause fitment issues.

Find a DistributorZF6HP26 and ZF6HP28 "B" clutch and Ford 6R80 direct clutch OE bushings have a tendency to wear out prematurely due to sub-optimal material composition. This wear can lead to bushing failure, ratio codes, and loss of correct pressure to the "B"/Direct clutch pack, resulting in burned clutches. Sonnax offers improved "B"/Direct clutch bushing 95030-07 with superior wear characteristics, eliminating premature deterioration for worry-free operation.
